Mr. Ly Van Mien's family is one of the poor households in particularly difficult circumstances in Yen Phu commune (Tuyen Quang). For many years, Mr. Mien has dreamed of a solid house, safe from heavy rain and strong winds. Recently, with the support of the state and the cooperation and contribution of Mr. Mien's community, he has a new house.

With a house, the family can work with peace of mind to escape poverty," Mr. Mien shared.
